Linked here is an mp3 of me speaking. I don’t say anything interesting, so feel free not to bother downloading it. It just has my version of an Australian accent.
Next time I’ll tell a joke or something.
Mmm, tv radiation photography.

I couldn’t hear an Australian accent but I did hear that rising inflection thing that British people always talk about.

You’ve had a haircut! What are you up to on the weekend? Wanna catch up?

You have a very nice voice mark! I think your accent is lovely.
So australian people don’t run around yelling things like “crikey!” and “throw the shrimp on the barbie?”
Just kidding, of course.
I fear we’ll have to beat the ladies off of you while your here, because if there’s one thing that always gets an american woman, it’s a british or australian accent. :)
That’s a really good picture of you, btw.

Ah the dulcet tones of Mark, nice work.
I was going to do a podcast/audio thingy, but with this here cold I have I sound like a man.
A man drag queen.
An 80 year old man drag queen who has smoked two packets of cigarettes every day for the last 50 years.
It’s fun.

Ross - Since we grew up together I’m not surprised I sound accent-neutral. I’ll get my bogan on next time.
Julia - I ams teh sex? THX LOL! Seriously though, ‘crikey’ is over. Steve Irwin kinda killed it. And I have *never* had barbecued shrimp. (On the other hand, all Australians still carry knives and wrestle crocodiles on public holidays. Even Lucy.)
Lucy - Aww. Get well soon sugarpie!

Aw, your accent isn’t stupid. You sound so polite. And smart.
And ’tis true, British and Australian accents are American girl kryptonite.
I’m cool with the knife carrying and reptile wrestling. I think that it’s important to keep your cultural heritage alive, for example I always carry a spare army around in case I have to invade someone.

Thanks kitten.
Just for the record I am tremendously rubbish crocodile wrestling but the fact that you’ve never had barbecued prawns (shrimp) makes me sad.
When this weather warms up you should come over for a Lucy bbq.
(And that’s not a euphemism for anything)

Becky - Crikey!
Lucy - What kind of euphemism would ‘Lucy BBQ’ be? Are you hot and juicy? Or just desperate for sausage?

Umm the first option?
Let’s be honest if I didn’t say it you totally would’ve.

It’s funny, I can’t hear it normally, but when you record it, I can really make out your accent’s indonesian lilt.

Lucy - Option 3: goes well with beer?
Tomas - isn’t Indonesian mostly clicks and pops?
Comment by Mark — Monday June 18 2007 @ 3:47 pm
You’re bang on with option three.
